Carolyn's Taco Soup

I've had a LOT of taco soups, and this one is definitely my FAVORITE. It uses taco sauce instead of taco seasoning, and I think that's what makes this taste EXTRA good. Thanks to Carolyn for sharing—I hope you don't mind my additions!

Carolyn's Taco Soup

1 pound ground beef

1 can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup frozen corn, thawed

1 can stewed tomatoes, pureed with liquid

1/2 bottle taco sauce

1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles

2 tablespoons chili powder

Dash of garlic salt and onion salt

2–4 cups beef broth (or more if desired)

Brown and drain the ground beef. Combine all ingredients in a large soup pot and simmer for at least 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, cheese, and taco chips.

TIP: You can use any kind of chip you like, but my favorite happens to be Fritos. Other options include regular tortilla chips, or Nacho Doritos are even pretty tasty.
